Question 31 Full Solution

The document presents a corrected solution to a vector problem involving four vectors (A, B, C, D) with their respective bearings, angles, and magnitudes. It details the calculation of vector components, the resultant displacement in both x and y directions, and the resultant magnitude and direction. The final resultant displacement is approximately 3.44 m at an angle of 130.3 degrees from East, counterclockwise.

Corrected Solution to Question 31

1. Vectors and Bearings

Vector | Description | Bearing | Angle from East | Magnitude

-------- |--------------|---------------|------------------|-----------

A | E 37 deg N | 37 deg N of E | 37 deg | 5.0 m

B | W 45 deg N | 45 deg N of W | 135 deg | 6.0 m

C | W 30 deg S | 30 deg S of W | 210 deg | 4.0 m

D | E 60 deg S | 60 deg S of E | 300 deg | 3.0 m

2. Vector Components

Vector | x-component (m) | y-component (m)

-------- |------------------|------------------

A | 5.0 * cos(37) ~ 3.99 | 5.0 * sin(37) ~ 3.01

B | 6.0 * cos(135) ~ -4.24 | 6.0 * sin(135) ~ 4.24

C | 4.0 * cos(210) ~ -3.46 | 4.0 * sin(210) ~ -2.00

D | 3.0 * cos(300) ~ 1.50 | 3.0 * sin(300) ~ -2.60

3. Resultant Displacement

Total x = 3.99 - 4.24 - 3.46 + 1.50 = -2.21 m

Total y = 3.01 + 4.24 - 2.00 - 2.60 = 2.65 m

Resultant Magnitude = sqrt((-2.21)^2 + (2.65)^2) ~ 3.44 m

Direction = atan(2.65 / -2.21) ~ 130.3 degrees (from East, CCW)
